BALTIMORE, MD -- (MARKET WIRE) -- August 24, 2006 -- View Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: VYST), a leading
homeland defense solutions provider, announced today that additional
purchase orders for SecureScan units have been received from two
correctional facilities in Maryland: The Maryland House of Corrections in
Jessup and MRDCC.

View Systems executive, Charles Nelson, states, "Commissioner Frank Sizer
initiated the effort to attain funds for new security equipment for all
Maryland prisons in October of 2005. The first SecureScan units were
installed in January of 2006. His vision was to upgrade security for all
Maryland Correctional Facilities. His suggestions to incorporate biometric
fingerprint scanning and positive ID recognition have greatly added to the
abilities of the SecureScan. I have great respect for Commissioner Sizer
and I hope the citizens of Maryland become aware of his year-long struggle
to get these units in place."

Funded by the Department of Justice, SecureScan's non-contact imaging
capabilities reduce the need for wanding and pat-down searches. While
ignoring common items like coins, watches, and jewelry, the SecureScan is
sensitive enough to locate hidden razor blades and cell phones on its video
image, which are crucial in correctional facility searches.

Gunther Than, CEO of View Systems, states, "The vision and guidance of
Commissioner Sizer has given us the opportunity to create a technology
specifically for use in correctional facilities. Knowing that we can fill a
need in our own back yard goes to the core of a business created for the
welfare and common good of the people of this state."
